ATTEST: City Secretary Alta Fletcher City of Nederland, Texas Mayor Pro -tem Pre&ton Cessac City of Nederland, Texas N REGULAR MEETING OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF NEDERLAND April 7, 1958 The meeting was called to order at 6:30 P. M. by Mayor Burk. Members present were Mr. J. P. Peterson, Mr. L. H. Henry, Mr. G. 0. Burk, Mr. R. S. St. Clair, and Mr. W. F. Spoede. Motion by Mr. Henry, seconded by Mr. Peterson, to approve minutes of the previous meeting as read. All Voting Aye. An address was made by Mayor Burk in which the following recommen- dations were proposed: 1. That the City Manager be instructed to establish a routine and systematic method of handling complaints. It is suggested that the method include the use of a complaint form showing the name, address, phone no., date, and natiire of the complaint, the answer given at the time, the subsequent action and the date of that action. The completed forms should be kept on file as a reference for the Council and for future work planning. Two other important items to be included in the system are: Courtesy to the individual involved, and the elimination of wild, unfullfillable promises of action. 2. That a rule of procedure be set by the Council which will prohibit, except in emergency, the taking of official action on any item which does not appear on the meeting agenda. All to often this Council has felt compelled to take action without adequate information and without giving adequate thought to the consequences of such action, in order to appease an individual or group appearing at a meeting. Some of these actions have been costly, some have been in conflict with wording and intent of the Charter, and many have deterred or hampered the City Manager in fullfilling the duties of his job. The proposed rule of procedure will tend to channel the complaints thru the Manager and thus permit him to handle the majority of them. On those which he cannot handle, the rule will provide time to collect information necessary to make an intelligent decision on their disposition. 3. That the City Secretary be instructed to prepare an organi7ation8l chart or table showing every city employee, his salary, and the lines of responsibility or authority. It will be necessary, of course, for each appointive official, inturn, to work with the secretary in preparing the chart for his department. 4. Right in line with this, I suggest that each appointive official be instructed to prepare an outline to show what he understands and considers to be the scope and duties of his position and the extent of his responsibilities. Each official will then meet with this council to discuss this outline. I feel that this will be the quickest and simplest method to reach a harmonious under- standing between Council and Officials and between Officials and Officials concerning areas of responsibility. It will be well to emphasi-e to each of the officials at that time that we are 4 no longer laboring under the old Commissioner type of government. That each Official is responsible to the Council as a whole - not to individual councilmen, andthat at any time such official has a question, complaint, suggestion, or request, he should present it to the Council in regular session and thru the regular procedure. 5. I therefore suggest that the City Manager be instructed to im- mediately undertake an economic study of all utilities and in the near future submit to this Council a report of his findings and his proposals for correction, and I do not consider a rate increase to be a correction. This study should include a careful look at the unmetered accounts and the economics of supplying meters or repairing bad order meters. It should also include a careful look at water and sewer tap fees and actual cost of such installations." Motion by Mr. St. Clair, seconded by Mr. Henry, to accept the entire recommendation as outlined above, All Voting Aye.

Box 967 Nederland, Texas Subject: Jefferson County Airport Nater Supply Gentlemen: October 23, 1959 As a result of previous discussions between City Council, City Manager D. B. Henson and representatives of Jefferson County, it is proposed that the water supply for Jefferson County Airport be secured from the City of Nederland. In order to accomplish this the County will agree to the following: (1) Construct at its cost and in accordance with the City's specifications a 4 inch water line properly valved and fitted from the City's existing 8 inch line situated at the intersection of 34th Street and Canal Street to a point approximately 250 feet within the North boundary of the Airport, and estimated distance of approximately 1200 feet. (2) Install a 4 inch compound water meter and box adjacent to the North boundary of the airport. (3) Install an altitude valve or other mechanism to permit the use of the airport's present storage tanks and elevated tank, thus enabling the airport to receive its supply of water during off -peak hours (tentatively 2:00 A.M., to 8:00 A.M.) until these facilities require replacement. At this time it is expected that a direct connection could be made to by -pass the present tanks. (4) Enter into an agreement with the City granting ownership of the l-ne to the City up to the North boundary of the airport, providing the City agrees to maintain the line and water meter and further agrees to furnish water at the minimum prevailing water rates. It would be very much appreciated if the City Council of the City of Nederland will approve this request at its earliest convenience. Thank you for the cooperation you have already demonstrated.
